I assume you mean:

If so, you did write the terms down correctly in descending powers of the variable, like this:

However, the problem also says "factor" if I am reading it right... so you need to factor this expression. Do you know how to do that? This is the result:

If you multiply out this binomial, you get the original expression back.
Good Luck,
